Trump's Fate in E. Jean Carroll Rape Trial to be Decided Soon
TL;DR Summary
The jury in E Jean Carroll's civil lawsuit accusing Donald Trump of rape and defamation is to hear closing arguments in New York on Monday. Trump missed a Sunday afternoon deadline to notify the court if he wished to testify. Carroll's legal team needs to show that "a preponderance of the evidence" backs their client's case, a lower threshold than in a criminal case. Carroll is also suing Trump for defamation after he dismissed her as a liar.
